IMPROVEMENT IN APPARATUS FOR CARBURETlNG-AIR AND GAS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 15 L896, dated June 9,1874; application filed May 18, 1874. i

To all whom it mag concern:

. Be it known that I, GEORGE E.1VIOFADD1N, of the city of Cincinnati,Ohio, have invented a Gas-Machine, of which the following is aspecification In the drawing annexed Figure 1 is a front view ofthe'machine when together for operation. Fig. 2 is what I call theindicator. Fig. 3 shows the form of the cup with flanges to hold them inplace.

The ring is so made as to receive the original cups, as shown in Figs. 4and 5, and when set into one another they form a series of cups, inwhich the gas is formed, inside of the case d, which is placed inside ofthe outer case F, with the coiled pipe 0 running between them from thetop to the bottom, for the purpose of forcing steam or hot air inbetween the two cases to warm the gasoline in winter. After thus puttogether the space between the two upright tanks is filled with cement.

Fig. 4 is a top view of the .cup and ring. Fig. 5 shows the under sideof the cup with the holes 1, 2, 3, and 4, through which theindicator-tubes pass, as shown at 1 in Fig. 1, and the wings withspaces, into which is put wire-gauze, which is wound with cantonflannel, through which is forced the air.

The wings are so arrangedas to reverse circuit from the center to theouter diameter of the cups. The holes through which the indicator-tubesrun will correspond to the numher of cups used, as only one pipe willenter a cup. All the pipes will be long enough to come above the top ofthe cup, so that, by taking the cap (Z off the indicator, Fig. 2, whichhas upon its lower end one or more cups at the top, by putting indicatorinto any GEO.
